[QUOTE="Silent, post: 540222, member: 4841"] Mike said first, so that's my first target. I'm planning on undercutting the dogs in both 1st and second, and pull a couple other tricks from the XS11 forum to strengthen the tranny. Rough plan of attack is to get the bike safe and running proper, then possible upgrades. Since the brake lines are 30 years old, I can see a set of custom SS lines in the bikes future B) Tranny - Pop out of first Valves - Might as well check em since I'm hear and the valve cover gasket seeps a little Carbs - Need a good cleaning, parts as needed Fuel system - There's checking in the fuel lines, might as well replace em. - Fix the vacuum fuel shutoff Forks - Need a full rebuild and straightening Brakes - Starting from scratch might be an option, I'll know more once I dig into them Anything else I feel it needs Gonna drive me :crazy: Don! lol I think I'm gonna have to Finnish off this one before I think about taking on another 'project' bike B) [/QUOTE]
